Residents shape Ludlow's master plan

LUDLOW, Mass. (WWLP) - Some big changes are in the works as Ludlow residents weigh in with their ideas.

Hundreds of town residents are presenting their ideas to The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission at Ludlow Town Hall.



Among the suggestions are a department store or a shopping mall.

Ludlow resident Connie Richard said, "Why not? Why do we have to go to Springfield to shop? It would be great to have something in Ludlow."

Ursela Lazarus added, "I think it would get them together more. And I think the prices would be less if there's more stores.

The planners will continue to take recommendations through Friday as they try to shape Ludlow's master plan for the future.
